Elementa is preparing Silver City for a global release, with worldwide pre-registrations past 10 million and sign-ups open on the official website, Epic Games Store, PlayStation Store, App Store, and Google Play. The studio also has StarToU in closed beta planning for some regions in the latter half of 2026.
Elementa's recent coverage centers on Silver City, the detective open-world RPG the studio has been building in Unreal Engine 5. The game was first announced for iOS and Android, then described as planned for consoles, PC, and smartphones, and now carries a platform list of PC, PS5, iOS, and Android. Set in the Victorian-style metropolis of Sylvania (also written Silvania), it casts players as a detective investigating conspiracies tied to a substance called Silver Liquid, werewolves, and corrupt institutions. Combat centers on parrying, with observation and deduction systems alongside it.
The studio ran two closed PC beta tests. The Law of Identity Test began January 13, and the Dichotomy Test ran from July 23 to August 13, adding a male protagonist, new characters, a new story, and previously locked areas of Sylvania. Elementa brought a playable demo to gamescom 2026 in Cologne from August 26 to 30, with demo stations for four characters and a pumpkin carriage statue, and also showed the game at Bilibili World 2026 in Shanghai and Anime NYC 2026.
Marketing director Lucis said European players reacted strongly to the worldbuilding, art style, and Victorian city atmosphere, while Asian players focused more on characters and combat. Cinderella, also the final boss in the demo build, was the most popular character. Feedback confirmed the team's direction but flagged camera work, hit effects, and guard and dodge feel as unresolved. Release date, price, and monetization are undecided.
Separately, Elementa renamed its smartphone game V Project to StarToU on August 20, 2026, revealing a four-member hip-hop idol group called MacGuffin alongside three previously shown trainees.

Elementa announced on August 20, 2026 that the smartphone game previously known as V Project now has the official title StarToU. The immersive empathy 3D idol game is set in the near-future city of Hoshikawa, where a technology called Touch lets players share the first-person perspective and emotions of the idols. Alongside the title change, a new four-member idol group called MacGuffin was unveiled. The members are Tay, Yoora, Lim, and Noki, all over 180 cm tall, and the group focuses on hip-hop with a concept of rebellion against rules and pursuit of playfulness. They belong to the Rhythm Rebellion Label and operate as a self-produced group. MacGuffin contrasts with the three previously revealed trainees, LEE, Near, and OCT, who belong to the long-established agency Scoop Culture and have no group name yet. The game's systems include a rhythm game in the Music Space, where players cheer from the audience perspective, and the Star Notebook for tracking fan activities.
